Introduction

Although I am an avid student of personal development materials in order to become more present and mindful, I am deeply indebted to my learnings from The Power of TED*. TED, in this instance, refers to the Empowerment Dynamic.

This post is a reflection on how much I have gained from my (so far) six readings of the book!

Slide deck

Way back in the Spring I presented this summary slide deck to Action for Happiness North East, a group I help found earlier this year, and about which I’ve already blogged about here.

TED* Library

Check out the TED* library, full of podcasts, articles, and videos. Mmm, podcasts! I am still a regular listener to these podcasts, to help embed my learnings.
The following videos are linked through from the library page.

Everyone has potential – it is up to us to be connected with the creator in other people

Interpret life situations through the lens of the empowerment dynamic

Although much of life seems to correspond to the Drama Triangle, I find it more empowering to keep in mind what one wants to create!

Choose choice

We’re all at choice, all of the time. It’s empowering to know this, and to consciously choose choice and choose to be a creator.

I could carry on in this vein – however this’ll do for now ;-)

Wash up

Reading The Power of TED* and working to absorb the lessons has been a watershed moment for me. I feel really grateful to be able to take on the learnings, and happy to share them with others – and answer any questions.

About Me

I'm from the North East of England, and like mountain biking, sailing, golf, tennis, and the open countryside!
I'm also interested in emerging trends, particularly scientific ones like Emergent Complexity; my latest "things" are the use of Fungi to help plants grow and to restore polluted land.
